Re: Anyone ever see a cat like this?
Cougar, puma, panther, mountain lion, those are all names for the same basic cat species, of which there are subspecies. They indeed can be black (melanistic, as stated above). When I was a little kid living in East Texas, there was one that roamed the woods where we lived. I never saw it, but we certainly heard the screams it made. The sound it made would raise the hair on your neck. From what I gather, they were already rare back then (in the 70s) in that area, and even more so now.
